They are clearly like laughing together.
They like hugging each other.
They conspire to wear the same kinds of clothes at media appearances.
They like goofing off on a tennis court
Rogi has even tried to steal Rafa's forehand.
And the 21 matches they've played over the years have been a magic carpet ride for the fans of the game.
The only places they've been able to play each other in the last two years have been Madrid. Rogi, are you working on your espanol?
They did play each other Down Under on hard courts even longer ago. A good friend is always there to console you even when they don't have to, no?
Even in their ceremonial pics, you wonder if they're about to bust out laughing.
Here's their last hard court match.
May you meet each other next Sunday and give us an epic.
Amen...
ReplyDeleteThe stars are as aligned as they'll ever be.
Both coming in on good form (Fed more so) with no physical niggles.
Perhaps Rafa would have benefitted from more testing matches though I've never thought of him as a "play yourself into form" kinda guy. If he's playing poorly he generally goes down early and if not he generally gives a good performance irrespective of whether or not he's been tested.
Can't not happen can it?
